MC Alger vs NIGELECPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

This is the first preliminary round, so there is no table to work from and recent outings carry the weight. MC Alger come off a 1-3 at Al Shabab, preceded by a 2-0 won at Al-Hilal Saudi FC and a 1-1 with Mamelodi Sundowns, also away from their own crowd. Further back are a 2-0 at home over ASO Chlef and a 0-1 at ES Setif. NIGELEC bring a far heavier run: 0-5 and 0-1 across the two meetings with Olympique Safi, 0-3 at Pyramids FC and before that a 0-1 at Raja Casablanca. Their one positive result is the 1-0 at home against Pyramids FC. Across those five outings they have scored once and conceded ten. There are no previous meetings on record between the two sides. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
